Welcome to Lakeland Schools

Instruments Transported On The School Bus


The following instruments are small enough in size that a student can either place the instrument on their lap or between their legs as to not use a seating space on the school bus.

Note: All allowable instruments must be transported in cases which should remain closed on the bus at all times.

The following instruments have been deemed by the transportation and music department too large to be transported by the school bus without taking a seating space. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to transport these instruments to and from school.

 3/4 size Cello, Full size Cello, String Bass (any size), French Horn, Tuba, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Bass Trombone, Baritone Horn, Floor Toms, Bass Drum, Cymbals, Any Marching Percussion, and Multi-cultural Drums.
